Dean Ohlman writes, in part: " We can respond lovingly
and firmly that their argument is not with us, but with God's Word."

Not quite, Dean. "with some people's interpretation of God's Word."

Dean continues: "In fact, in a city commission meeting in San Francisco, a
pastor stood
up and with no commentary merely read pertinent passages from the
Scriptures. When he was done, a commissioner asked, "Is that from
the Bible?" When the pastor replied in the affirmative, the man said,
"Well that settles it for me!" and he voted against a pro-gay ordinance."

How fortunate, then, for the barber profession that he did not also read Lev
19:27.
How fortunate for the children of that city that he did not also read Lev 20:9.
Etc.
